Actually Brian Spence is throwing it and would not respond to any of our requests to attend. We thought business would be put aside and it would be for fellow nudists enjoying the same cause. Unfortunately, it is what it is. If you go, enjoy and say hi to other fellow TN'rs for us!

If possible, we intend to ask Brian about this as well as the decision to rescind your approved status. His response will play a large part in casting our vote for him in the upcoming AANR election, or not.
He is the one to create this event, one that AANR's officer-ship should have thought to create a long time ago. That's a VERY good reason to vote for him for AANR president. He is younger than many others in office - another reason to vote for him so we have fresh ideas. He's been a regional Trustee (west coast). I'll be voting for him, Dave Landman for VP, and Sharon McLeod for Secy/Treasurer.
He has nothing to say about the AANR logo. That comes from the Executive Director & Electronic communications manager. He could try to help since he is a Western Region's Trustee though.

awwww, that's terribly lame. Ya would think in a world of nudism there wouldn't be... competition? I'm sorry however. You could always try wearing a disguise :D
I'm sorry, but I have a little issue with this, I Live in phoenix, AANR west has a meet up here every year, never have I seen TT1 or TT2 and any of those events. If they were there they kept a very low profile. Why the interest now ?Brian makes it there every year. Phoenix is the listed head quarters of true nudists. AANR west has many meet up type events at resorts with in driving distance of Phoenix, why the interest now? Brian, on his site, has meet up a resorts all across the country. He put this one together, not the AANR. I can not say for sure, but I don't think Brian would have an issue with two nudists enjoying the event, however, some one there to promote their site, well different story. If the roles were switched, TT1 would feel the same way. Any bussiness would, and both sites are for bussiness. Since this is a larger site, more members, why do we not have meet up here? If not across the country, at least at sites around the Phoenix area. Well at least people will know what Brian looks like when they see him since he has a photo posted. I think all nudists should take their hat off to Brian for putting in all the effort it took to put this event together. Hopefully it's a great success.

We visit the local nudist locations as well as the locations in CA and have been for the past 10 years. It was never our intent to promote TN, but rather to enjoy a day nude in the sun. As far as interest now, we'd never done a nude outing to Vegas and thought it'd be great to meet other nudists. I'd have no problem meeting Brian Spence either, as a fellow nudist we share the same cause. Unfortunately, multiple emails sent to Brian Spence as to whether we can attend have not ignored. It's a shame but for those going, Enjoy!
It is really reasurring hearing positive feedback from many users saying that losing the logo is not a big deal. Good ideal, maybe TN should start throwing events so we can meet our fellow users? That would be exciting. TN appreciates each and every one of you and it'd be great to meet many of you.

I can understand your desire to enjoy a relaxing day, no problem there. Every day should not be about work. How ever, that is different then once in a while showing up at one of the local resorts for a AANR west meet up. Thats once a year. I'm sure if people knew who you were, once in a while you would get asked about TN, and also thoughts as to how it should be run. I do think that would be rare though. I have seen Brian many times at different resorts, and he does seem to get his "alone" time. We don't talk to him everytime, other then to say hello, but at least we know who he is. Having a first name and a picture on here, well it does make it a little more personal..............As to Vegas being fun, yes it would be. It's really a shame the two sites did not work together from the start. That surely would have made it a much bigger event. Yes, it would be less relaxing for you two, but then again, part of the job of owning a site. Just think of the great people you could have met. I don't think getting a room somewhere in Vegas and getting tickets to the different events would be an issue though. So fun could still be had. An exchange of ideas, or arranging for a time to exchange ideas between Brian and you two could be interesting. Well a polite conversation about the sites would be. I think both sites could learn from the other. .....As to the ones who don't care, well, many don't live in the USA, and of course the ones here for other reasons then chatting and meeting other nudist don't care. They would like you to be farther away. But you have to ask yourself, if they feel it's way to restrictive her in the USA, both wiith AANR and our sites, and say it's so much better where they are, why are they here? For many it's simple, if they were on a nudist web site at home, well fakes and frauds would be found out much quicker. Not saying all outside the USA are fakes and frauds, or that we don't have more then our share, but really, you have to wonder about many.As to meet ups. yes, it would be a awesome idea. Perhaps you two could appoint a small group to help with that. Would not be hard to go in the chat room, or look on the forum, and find people who really care about the site and nudism in general. Total conntrol should always remain with TT1, but having trusted people to toss around ideas, not a bad thought.

I fail to see why permission is needed, or sought ?
It's a public event, not an invitational.
Information on it has been posted various places.
Just get in the car, and go !

That's the same thing I was thinking.
